CMA update #6

OK, Taylor Swift is a huge star but why did she get to perform two songs tonight? There are more than enough deserving artists to fill the performance slots for the show and giving Swift two of those slots was just overkill.

Sugarland and Brad Paisley completed hat tricks, winning vocal group-of-the-year and male vocalist-of-the-year respectively for the third straight year. The vocal group-of-the-year category now belongs to Sugarland but they’ve got a long way to go to match Brooks and Dunn’s success — they won the category 15 out of 16 years between 1992 and 2006.

I find it interesting that Paisley is dominating the male vocalist category even though he doesn’t have an incredible voice. It may be distinctive but it can’t compare to the likes top voices in the business. However, it works for him and that’s all that really matters.
